My Dr. had been telling me I'm pre-diabetic. Yesterday, ( 8-13-13 ) he told me I've definately got diabetes :-( My blood sugar was 179.
He told me what food I'm supposed to stay away from......, which is just about everything. What do you eat ? What kind of diet did your Dr. put you on ? What foods, besides sugar are you not supposed to eat ?

My mother was diabetic, she used to have everthing without sugar,she cooked cake ie spnges and left the sugar out, rice pudding, plenty of vegtables, fruit ( not too many bananas) sugarless jam, no sweets, no cream cakes, no alcohol, only dry biscuits, there are lots of healthy food you can still eat.
Also mycatsmom try this- American Diabetis Association, they have loads of information about whats best for you to eat.

I was diagnosed T2 about 10 years ago. I take my medication, avoid sugary foods , and take exercise. This last I find is very effective in lowering my blood sugar, so I go out on my bike nearly every day.

Since this medical issue varies from P to P, stick to what your doc says and monitor your sugar level. Take meds on time.

My mother, her sister, and their mother all had Diabetes. When I have the yearly finger stick my blood work almost borders on Diabetes. How did you all get a diagnosis? Was it a finger stick or a needle in the arm and then the blood goes to the lab. Juliana how are you doing with your new diagnosis? I've looked up Diabetes and found it really difficult to understand. I hope you're doing well. How is exercise coming along. I can't do much exercise because of my back and neck problems. P.S. 267 people have read your post and there were just a few comments.

Usually it's taking a blood sample and send to lab for analysis. That is reliable.
Thank you sawali. I'll check it out.

179? I’d take a shot. Yes, I am diabetic, have been type I for 38 years. I watch my BG’s and test often. There are always offers for free meters on line. Finally, there are generic strips out there. I am so sorry for you but, it’s not the end of the world, trust me. Eat veggies and avoid carbs. But don’t starve yourself to death, nobody likes a dead diabetic……..
